The Red Sox will kick off a ten-game homestand today with Game 1 of a three-game weekend series vs. the Atlanta Braves. Fans can follow the action once the game gets underway at 7:10 p.m. EST at Fenway Park in Boston, MA.

After going 2-4 on their recent road trip, including getting swept by the Tigers in Detroit, some time at home may be just what the Red Sox need to get back on track. While they did have a couple of games where they scored two runs or less (which they lost both), overall, the lineup has been hitting well over the last week (.262 BA). The issue has been pitching; opposing teams are hitting .269 off of them with a staff ERA of 4.50 (over the last week). Atlanta, on the other hand, is coming off a four-game home stand vs. the Washington Nationals, where they won three of four games; they scored at least four runs in every game and allowed more than four just once.

Boston will give the ball to Garrett Crochet to start the day. Crochet is 4-2 on the season with a 1.93 ERA and 1.07 WHIP. Atlanta is scheduled to start Chris Sale, who is 1-3 with a 3.97 ERA and 1.41 WHIP.

Our Atlanta Braves vs Boston Red Sox Prediction

Four starts into the season, Sale had a 6.63 ERA; he now has a 3.97 ERA, which means he has been pitching well in recent weeks (he has not allowed more than two runs in each of his last four starts, three of which were on the road). Crochet has given up one run or less in six of his last eight starts, including his last two. Boston’s been hitting well over the last week (.287; Atlanta-- .243), but not playing defense. I’d lean towards the Boston ML if I’m betting on a winner, but I like the total as a much better bet.

Our Braves vs. Red Sox Pick: UNDER 8
